The chip programming industry leader, Acroview Technology, recently released the latest programming software updates and an additional list of supported chip models. The AdvanceChip Electronics' 32-bit fixed-point DSP ADP32F034QP64S has been supported by Acroview's universal programming platform AP8000.

The ADP32F034QP64S is the latest product on the AdvanceChip Electronics' fixed-point DSP platform, based on the ADP32Fx controller with the same 32-bit fixed-point architecture as the existing ADP32FxMCU. It is a highly efficient C/C++ engine that allows users to develop their control system software using high-level languages and also develop mathematical algorithms using C/C++.

The ADP32F034QP64S is equally effective in handling DSP arithmetic tasks and system control tasks which are typically handled by microcontroller devices. This efficiency eliminates the need for a second processor in many systems. With its 32x32-bit MAC function and 64-bit processing capability, the device can effectively handle high digital resolution issues. The device features fast interrupt response with automatic context saving of critical registers internally, allowing it to handle many asynchronous events with minimal delay. It also has an 8-stage deep protected pipeline with pipelined memory access. This pipelined operation allows the device to execute instructions at high speed without the need for expensive high-speed memory. Advanced branch prediction hardware significantly reduces the latency caused by conditional discontinuities. Special memory condition operations further enhance performance.

Block Diagram

Acroview Technology's independently developed AP8000 universal programmer includes three main parts: the host, the baseboard, and the adapter seat.

The host supports USB and NET connections, allowing multiple programmers to be networked together to simultaneously control and programme multiple programmers. The built-in chip security circuit ensures that even if the chip is reversed or short-circuited for other reasons, it can be immediately detected and powered off to ensure the safety of the chip and programmer. The embedded high-speed FPGA greatly accelerates data transmission and processing. The back of the host has an SD card slot, where engineering files created by PC software can be placed in the root directory of the SD card and inserted into the slot. Through the buttons on the programmer, engineering files can be selected, loaded, and programming commands can be executed, achieving the purpose of operation without a PC, greatly reducing PC hardware configuration costs and facilitating rapid adaptation to the working environment.

The AP8000, through the baseboard and adapter board, enhances the expandability of the host. It currently supports devices produced by all mainstream semiconductor manufacturers, including TI, ST, MicroChip, Atmel, Hynix, Macronix, Micron, Samsung, Toshiba, etc. The supported device types include NAND, NOR, MCU, CPLD, FPGA, EMMC, etc., and support various file formats such as Intel Hex, Motorola S, Binary, POF, etc.
